THE final lineup for the 2026 World Cup will be decided over the next week, with 16 teams competing for the last four places allocated to European countries.

Europe battles for final World Cup spots

Twelve runners-up from the qualifying groups and four teams that earned spots through their Uefa Nations League results have a second chance to punch their ticket to football’s global showpiece. Here, we look at the four playoff routes that will determine the remaining qualifiers for the first 48-team World Cup.

Four-time World Cup winners Italy face immense pressure as they attempt to qualify for a first appearance at the tournament since 2014. After lifting the trophy in 2006, Italy’s record at the World Cup has been dire. They suffered two successive group-stage exits before missing out entirely on the 2018 and 2022 editions.

To avoid another qualifying failure, Italy must overcome Northern Ireland in Bergamo tomorrow, before a potential final against Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina on Tuesday.
